What makes a friend? Why do we have friends?

One of the things for me that I look for in a great friend is trustworthiness. You should be able to trust your friend with things that you want only to be between him or her and you. If you can't really trust your friend, then he or she can't really be your friend. Another thing is truthfulness. I believe that there should be a balance between being truthful and being a jerk about something. You should be truthful to your friend, and your friend, to you, but you shouldn't be mean about it. A friend is also someone that you can look to in times of need. Maybe you're going through a rough patch, and if your friend isn't really supportive, then you probably aren't that good of friends or friends at all.
I think that we have friends just because we need them. We always need someone to talk to; someone to complain to about our parents or whatever. Friends are there to help you out when you need it. We all need friends to be able to get through day to day life. We have friends to help share the burden when we are having hard times. They can make us happy when we're down. If we didn't have friends, then life would be pretty boring.
